Print options epson 3880 and CS5

I cannot set the paper type or size on my Epson Stylus Pro 3880 from my CS5 print menu on my Mac OS10.6.3OS. I have reinstalled and gotten updates ... controls are absent? Anyone?

I have 10.6.4 and File - Print brings up the Print Dialogue Box no problem.
Maybe an update to 10.6.4 would help?
I updated before adding CS5 but CS3 works OK as well so may be an OS issue.
Don't know what else it could be.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.

What Adobe support will be of help.

Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3). I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture". It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006. I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem. I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
Any help will be appreciated.

If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

My Lr5.7.1 doesn't recognize my Epson XP-760 printer and after customising the printout in the Print Module the Print options (lower right AND Main Menu Archive Print) are disabled

I am running Lr5.7.1 on an iMac Retina 5K (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1). My printer (Epson XP-760) works fine with all other applications but not with Lr!!! After selecting my printout preferences in the Print Module it works if I select Print File and save it to the desktop and then take it up as a Preview and print it from there. This is not what I want. I expect that the Print button (low right corner) should be abled rather than disabled and send to printer directly from within Lr's Print Module. It doesn't matter if the printer is on Wi-Fi or USB (or even both).
What is the problem? What else can or should I do to make it work as I expect?
Gunnar

Thank you very much, Modesto,
I have updated Yosemite to 10.10.2 and my problems remain. Reading About Lightroom 5.7.1, the pop-up window doesn't specifically say 5.7.1 and there is no choice to select More details (I can only trust that I am running really 5.7.1). I am sure that I really am Printing to file since this is the only choice I have ever seen enabled in my Lr5.7.1, whereas I have NEVER seen the Print option enabled. I enclose a screen dump (in Swedish) fyi.
So, I am still confused but on a somewhat higher level!
I really appreciate your help, Modesto

Printer Error - Epson 3880 & LR and talking with each other?

I am trying to use the Epson 3880 with LR; however, I get a printer error every time I try to print. The error shows up in the printer status and is immediate.
The printer works fine with iPhoto.
It is connected and the Utility is speaking with printer.
I have downloaded the most recent drivers (which haven't been updated by Epson in awhile.)
I have the color being managed by the printer.
What else could it be?
I am very new to this and could use some help.
Thank you in advance.

I suppose that can’t hurt to reinstall.
Do you have a 2nd machine you can try as well?
One thing you might try is logging in as another user and seeing if you can print. IF so, then there’s something in the original log-in Library that’s an issue. I think (I’m not sure) that the driver should be accessible for all users. If however, you can’t print as another user, then its something in the main system that’s at fault here.
You could also try resetting CUPs (the printer system) if you feel comfortable in Terminal. In Terminal type:
sudo cupsd

(unwanted) White borders when printing on Epson 3880 in LR5 (not in LR4)

We have a customers who has been printing using LR4 for quite some time.
Since she upgraded to LR5, she has issues that regularly, she get quite large white borders around the edges (seem like the printer is printing to a smaller page size, the photo's are cut off).
When we import the same images, use the same printer, same driver and all same settings in LR5, all works fine.
Anyone had any similar experience ?
Mavericks 10.9.3, latest Epson 3880 driver, LR5.4 ...
TIA,
Bart

Epson support was no help, giving the stock answer about borderless printing and setting margins.
I do not try to print all the way to the edge of my papers. I solved my problem by selecting the appropriate borderless paper size in the Epson driver and then setting the margins I wanted (0.25” on all sides) within Lightroom.

Magenta Printing Issues in LR3 and CS5

Hi,
   I have seen this issues mentioned in various forms over the last year or so but I have yet to see a real solution to the problem I am now experiencing
History:
   I was running a Vista 64b OS and using LR 2.X along with Epson's r2880 printer. I was able to print using LR 2.X without any issues both in B&W and color using the various paper iccs provided by the vendors (Moab for example) I never had the Magenta printing issues.
Fast Forward:
   I recently installed LR3 and CS5 under the same OS (Vista 64b) and when I printed in color it is obviously Magenta heavy.   I am following the same practices as before of having LR3 manage the color (using one of the vendor iccs) and setting "No Color Managment" in the printer driver UI. Doing this gives me terrible crazy Magenta prints. I have un-installed and re-installed the Epson Printer drivers numerous times with no positive effect. The causal effect was installing CS5 and LR3. These were the only changes made.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and had found a solution other than switching over to a Mac.
This is very frustrating and depressing.
Thanks,
David.

Thanks for the great Feed back. I was able to fix the printing problem by doing several things:
1) Re-install the printer drivers
2) Runnning the printer through nozzle checks and cleaning cycles. Had to peform the cleaning cycle 3 times.
3) Replacing the yellow ink cartridge. The ink level was showing about 15% remaining but in fact I was out of yellow ink. I had read that the ink levels were not always accurate.
So for me this issue has been solved. Thanks for the help.

Trouble printing with Epson 2880 and SL

Installed SL on my MBP but not my iMac yet as it is my main computer for printing with Aperture. I have been very happy with the 2880 and how well the prints match what I see on the screen (calibrated with i1d2). Well with SL I downloaded rosetta and the new 2880 drivers (as instructed by Epson), but whenever I choose a paper profile e.g., Premium Photo Glossy, the picture in Aperture Print Pane turns a purple hue. I, of course, have color management turned off in the Print Settings dialog. Anyone have any idea what is going on? As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything differently. More importantly, has anyone been able to get good photo printing with SL, Aperture and the new Epson drivers for the 2880 or similar Epson printer?
Thanks, Jim

That KB article just saved me from going back to 10.5. I was having the same purple problem with all Ilford and Hahnemuhle profiles.
That problem is now gone (by just disabling Black Point Compensation) but: when trying to print from Aperture (2.1.4) with my R2880, any paper I choose is apparently stuck at +roll paper+, giving a +wrong source+ error when it reaches the printer. I now have to hit preview, select the correct page setup and profile and print from there. So far this seems to work. But it's a pain and not what I want to be stuck doing for very long.
I had this problem before but only when printing to Manual-Roll. Now even Sheet Feeder options don't work. This would all be fixed if we only had a proper Page Setup option in Aperture as in every other OS X application...
At least that convoluted method gives me the right colors - which I was definitely not getting by going the system managed route.
Growing pains anyone?

Unable to print with Epson 3880 in LR3

I am no longer able to print with LR3 on my Epson 3880. I have printed lots of photos on it in the past and when I have tried to print on it in the last few weeks, I go through the normal process on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and everything appears normal. LR3 processes the photos and the Epson Icon pops up on my task bar and it shows the job as having been completed - but nothing prints. The computer believes that it has successfully printed my photos.
I have tried deleting and adding the printer, but that has not helped. I have also tested my connection through the Epson Status Monitor. I can print a test page with that utility and check for the need to clean the print head. The computer appears to be able to talk to the printer, but it won't print photos.
One other thing that appears a little unusual is that I can select a specific colour profile to use for my specific photo paper, but I can no longer find the setting in the printer driver that states 'Turn Off Colour Management'.
I have checked the software update twice and I have the latest updates installed.
I am stuck and need to print some photos for family. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Don

That is a good tip Andrew. I believe that the driver was updated in the last couple of months and as I am not printing on a regular schedule, I didn't notice the problem. With the fresh install from the Epson site, everything looks the way it should.
I am going to follow your advice and not update via Software Update. I will install directly from Epson. This is the first time in three and a half years on the Mac that I have had an issue like this.
Thanks,
Don

Missing print options - Canon MP600 and ????

Well I discovered the hard way another function deleted in SL!
I have a Canon MP600 multifunction unit. Now when I go to print, I can NOT specify certain pages to print such as 1, 3, 7, 10. In Tiger & Leopard I could.
I finally found the option for printing all even or all odd pages under "Paper Handling". This helps but this means I have to switch to another screen to get that option. And why there instead of under instead of "Duplex Printing and Margin", a more logical place for the even or odd selection if not on the main page.
Also missing is the option to just print the current page.
For one document I wanted to print, I selected the pages one-by-one on the first page of the printer dialogue by selection a range of say 3 to 3.
Is this all the SL printer driver? Will the old Leopard driver work? If so how do I get it back?

I agree with Todd. You must have been using Office or Acrobat or some other application that provided this feature. The Preview application included with 10.6 has exactly the same print options as that provided with 10.5.

The Duplex Printing menu is provided by Canon. It is known as a PDE (Print Dialog Extension). When you think about, if the printer can print duplex then you usually don't want to print odd or even pages. This is more suited for printers that have no duplex option, where you would need to print one side then reload and print the other - hence it being provided by Apple and not the vendor.
Also missing is the option to just print the current page.
Preview does have an additional menu under File called 'Print Selected Page'.
For one document I wanted to print, I selected the pages one-by-one on the first page of the printer dialogue by selection a range of say 3 to 3.
That was also the case with Preview on 10.5. So again, you must be referring to a particular application that had print current page. BTW - if it was Acrobat you were using on 10.5 then this is still available with 10.6.
Is this all the SL printer driver? Will the old Leopard driver work? If so how do I get it back?
No. The issues you are mentioning appear to be application specific. As for installing the Leopard driver on 10.6, I don't believe the driver v5.8.3 for 10.5 and earlier can be used on 10.6. In testing the installation of the v5.8.3 driver on 10.6, it did appear to install but without an MP600 to connect to I cannot be certain it will work. So you may need to test this yourself. But that said, I don't believe the v5.8.3 driver will give you back the settings you want...

Color change printing in Photoshop CS4 and CS5

I have an Epson Stylus R1800. When I print something in CS5 it has different colors than printing in CS5. I checked the color settings and color mode and everything is the same. What settings did I missed, that I get such a different result?
Jutta

Sounds like you have the same problem as the Epson 2800. There is a post in here somewhere. The problem is with the Epson drivers. The person ended up buying a Epson 3800 If I remember correctly and had no more issues. His problem was with Red color cast or something like that.
You may want to get with Epson. Older printer, no new drivers on a new OS with PS CS5 was not a good combo.

Printing with Epson 2200 and Lightroom v1.3.1

Ever since installing Leopard and Lightroom v1.3.1 in my PowerMac G5, my Epson 2200 printer produces prints with a very significant magenta cast. Does anyone know of this problem or, better yet, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I loaded file 11832 from epson us site. This driver v3.0aAs is for v10.4.4 - 10.4.x intel based macs. Even though it's not for leopard? I did this as nothing else work prior for LR. I also downloaded easyprint v3.1bA. I set it to managed by printer then hit print, at this point I set color sync on the pull down tab along with checking the rest of that printer menu such as paper type i.e. glossy profile and the mode to advanced print quality 1440 with the high speed box unchecked. The rendering intent is perceptual & print res at 360 dpi. The print output is at acceptable than most of what I had prior which was lack luster. I did base my start point for LR from the LR book by Scott Kelby. I think the output can be tweaked a bit which is my next endeavor. This did work so I hope that this help's.

Default Printer Problem - Epson 9800 and 9900

OK. I attended the Epson Academy meeting in Chicago yesterday - -and I learned several new things.
None of the Epson speakers, however, ever heard about an issue that is my problem:
Blacks are blocking up on my 9800 used with MK. I am printing on Somerset Velvet for Epson.
I am using an Intel MacPro with OS 10.5.6 - and Photoshop CS4. I have a new Epson 9900 on a USB line - and my old 9800 on a Firewire connection.
I posted earlier that my 9800 is now dedicated as an MK printer (I gave my 9600 to an art department).
My new 9900 is designated as the DEFAULT printer - on the MacPro with OS 10.5.6 - and Photoshop CS4.
When I send a print to the 9800 (not designated as the default printer) - it appears to ignore my profiles - and prints huge BLACK areas where there should be detail - and some grays.
I sent the same file to my 9900 - after switching it to MK from PK - and the print was perfect - matched my profiled monitor exactly - and was the same as a previous print done with MK on the 9600.
So - today I am back in the studio and doing some research - and some experiments (putting my science Ph.D to work).
At the suggestion of Epson's people yesterday, I reloaded the print driver (from Epson) for the 9800.
I then Used Print-Fax (on the Mac - system preferences) to delete the 9800 from my list - and then re-added it (it is on a firewire link).
I made another print - and (drum roll...) it is still filled with Blocked-Up Blacks.
And so, I did the test that I mentioned doing earlier here:
I went back to Print-Fax - and I designated the 9800 as the DEFAULT printer.
I then made another print and (more drum rolls.....) - the print is PERFECT - matches the print from my old 9600 and the new 9900 with MK.
So - the problem is that under OS 10.5.6 - and with an Intel MacPro - and with Photoshop CS4 - the 9800 MUST BE SELECTED AS THE DEFAULT PRINTER.
My next test is to send the same file to my 9900 - with MK - with the 9900 NOT designated as the default (leaving the 9800 in that role).
I want to be able to have both printers working (as in actually printing) at the same time so that I can keep up with Fine Art and canvas jobs.
Will I have to switch the Default-Designated Printer for each job ? What will happen if I de-select the 9800 while it is printing???
Stay tuned.
In my former life, as a professor, I could apply for federal grants to do my research. Maybe I should send a bill to someone for ink, paper, and time.
There is a problem here- but it could be Epson, Apple, or Adobe at this point.

Jeff,
My sincere apologies -- I asked John Caponigro - who sent me over to Andrew - and we sat and talked right next to you ... maybe I needed a few minutes at the end of the meeting for more Qs. and As.
So - now that we know there really IS a problem -- how do we fix it???
What will happen if I am sending a job to the 9800 - with MK - designated as my default printer - and then, at the same time - send a job to the 9900 - but now select it as the default printer in the middle of the 9800's job?
Any chance that OS 10.5.7 will fix this - or do we wait and start-over with 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?
It was a great Epson session in Chicago - you were terrific - and I'm not at all surprised to learn that you knew the answer.
Dick
And - this just in ----
With the 9800 Epson designated as the DEFAULT printer, I sent a job to the 9900 (now no longer the default) - and (even more drum rolls....) the print is perfect.
So - it appears to be an EPSON - APPLE problem specific to the 9800 (in my case).
If you have more than one printer - test the problem by changing the DEFAULT status around in Print-Fax.
And - thanks, again, Jeff.

What happened to the iPhoto print options like backgrounds and borders?

I finally upgraded to Mavericks and, when I went to print a photo, there were no backgrounds or borders like before. Where are they, and how do I get them back?

Do you think I should change the time zone in my System Preferences before downloading a memory card with photos from elsewhere, or will that mess everything else up?
That is what I have done for quite a while, and it will work well. Only, you have to remember to do it.
And it gets complicated, when you are travelling along a time zone boundary and are continually switching between time zones. I now always take a MacBook Pro with me when travelling, so I can import the photos right away.
a memory card with photos from elsewhere, or will that mess everything else up?
The current system time zone setting will only be applied to the images you are importing. iPhoto reads the EXIF dates from the card, say 10:00 am, and then will file it as 10:00 am Paris time, if the time zone is set to Paris. The metadata of other photos will not be changed.
The system time also determines, how iPhoto displays the dates and times in the Info panel. If no time zone tag is displayed, then the dates are expressed in your local time.
